This challenge had us making a card with skulls and some attitude. For my card I had to try my hand at the weekly technique at Splitcoaststampers. I just love making different looking cards.
I used the new Whatever! image. She is such a cutie!. I colored her with my Copics and I did the background in oil pastels and I used the skull border that came with the digi. The black band was written on with my white gel pen. And my sentiment was computer generated. The paper is from K & Company halloween stack from last year.
You slide off the band
Can you tell that I am not fond of mosquitos? lol This year we bought these great personal bug zappers that are shaped like tennis rackets and work wonderfully to kill these things before they bite us : )
For the inside of the card, I again used the skull border. And I added the mosquito from Elizabeth O. Dulemba and the fly swatter is from inky antics. I attached the fly swatter to some clear packaging to give it some lift off the page. For my sentiment I inked the edges with some chalk ink.
This was really simple to make & it would be great for gift cards. I am sure that I will make it for a gift at some point this year.
I hope you're able to enjoy your day. I'm off to play and neglect my cleaning chores : )
